A total of eight years had passed since Lin Mu and the group had started the expedition now.
This was the longest time Lin Mu had spent together with people whom he could consider companions. Even in the Xiaofan world, the time Lin Mu had spent with his companions there was less than this, most of whom he had only known for a three years or less.
Still, it didn't feel like a long time to him. Instead, he felt like it was merely months since they had been here, allowing him to finally ease into the time scale of an Immortal.
In this time, he had grown close to his companions, and could now call them as 'friends'. After all, there was nothing that could bring people more closer than fighting together and killing foes they all deemed as enemies.
They learned more about each other, about their lives as well as their pasts.
They grew stronger, improved their cultivation and enhanced their skills.
They suffered injuries, endured pain and sorrow.
